Boots are already a staple year-round—but when an additional layer of coziness is added, this shoe becomes the ultimate must-have. And that’s exactly what wide-fit sock boots have become, thanks to the fact that this style combines all your favorite bootie silhouettes with sock-like details. (!) In essence, sock boots are absolutely adorable booties that feature a stretchy ankle, rather than a stiff, immovable one. They slide on around your ankle just like—You guessed it!—a pair of socks.
In most cases, wide-fit sock boots are meant to fit like a glove while staying as comfortable as your coziest socks. And for those with wider ankles and calves, this is a wonderful feature in a shoe—that also happens to be trendy AF, no less. Far too often, on-trend pieces aren’t necessarily accessible to all bodies. With these particular booties, though, there’s plenty of stretch and plenty of style. Whoever said ~beauty is pain~ clearly hasn’t tried a pair of wide-fit sock boots. If they did, they’d like change their tune immediately.
Whether you’re into classic black heeled booties, chunky boots, lace-ups, or fun pops of color, there’s a pair of sock boots waiting to become a staple in your wardrobe. Once you’ve got your hands (or feet) on this trend, try wearing your favorite jeans rolled up at the ankle to show off the boots. Or, rock a pair of sock boots with your cutest mini dress. These booties are meant to be admired, so go ahead and strut it out, bb.
